Although Osi Umenyiora is still currently a Giant, I'm not expecting him to be when the season starts. Fellow DE and teammate of JPP at USF Craig Marshall could help the Giants' D in 2012, writes Dan Benton of Giants101.

New York is hoping their second-round pick from 2011 Marvin Austin can contribute at the DT position, while they have also added veteran Shaun Rogers to plug up the middle.

Markus Kuhn is a one-gap penetrating type of DT—something the G-Men could use to add depth on the D-line.

The linebacker position was a problem for the Giants last season and they didn't utilize the draft to fill the gaps like most had thought.

Instead, New York went out and signed Keith Rivers—a LB with potential, but also a guy who had dealt with extensive injuries during his four-year career.

New York will count on second-year men Greg Jones, Jacquian Williams and Mark Herzlich to step up in their sophomore season to help out Michael Boley and Chase Blackburn.

Fans of the team are hoping sophomore Prince Amukamara improves from his dicey rookie campaign, but with Webster and Thomas holding down the corner positions and the Giants signing former Patriots CB Antwaun Molden, New York looks to be in good shape in the secondary.
